Massimo Armanini

Author of a 2026 essay on AI-driven economic disruption and universal capital endowments.

The proposal is a Universal Capital Endowment at Birth. Every child born in an advanced economy — the United States, or any comparable nation willing to act with sufficient foresight — would receive a capital grant at birth, invested immediately in a globally diversified equity fund and held in a segregated public account.
